The siege of Hezhou was lifted, and Zhu Yuanzhang immediately sent someone to send food to Guo Zixing, and he still guarded Hezhou. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After all, Wang and Tian were short-sighted women, and they were frightened a lot when the Yuan army attacked the city, and Tian was even more sick in bed since then, and the war stopped and did not get better.

When Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying went to visit Tian, Wang was also beside them. Although there are servants to serve in the house, the Wang family is a person who is used to hard work, and it is uncomfortable to be idle in the house, and the relationship between her and Tian's concubine has always been very good.

The couple met the two sisters-in-law, and Zhu Nianci and Zhu Yizhang also stepped forward to salute them. Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the two nieces had grown into slim girls, and couldn't help but say to Tian: "Sister-in-law, you are getting better, the nieces have reached the age when they should get married, and you still need to worry about it." ”

Muddy tears slid across Tian's sallow cheeks, her eyes fell on her two daughters, and she said with difficulty: "I know my body well, I'm afraid it won't get better." If I go, remember to take care of them. He looked at Ma Xiuying again and said, "Brother and sister, you help me choose two good husbands for them, I can trust you." ”

Zhu Nianci and Zhu Yizhang suddenly threw themselves on the side of the bed and cried bitterly.

Ma Xiuying frowned and said: "It's no problem for me to choose a husband for my niece, but in the end, I have to be checked by my sister-in-law, no matter how good I do, I am not as careful as your mother-in-law, you still don't think about it, and raise your body as soon as possible to see them marry with peace of mind." ”

It is said that the mother is strong for the son, Tian listened to the advice of Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying, recuperated with peace of mind, and his body improved day by day, and he was able to get out of bed and walk around after three days.

Also recovering is Li Zhen, who has finally recovered after nearly a year of recuperation. Although I dare not say that I am completely as strong and brave as when I was young, I have no problem walking on horseback. He had always been a relatively prominent figure among Zhu Yuanzhang's relatives before, and at this time he was not willing to send people under the fence, and as soon as his body recovered, he asked Zhu Yuanzhang to let him serve in the army.

Zhu Yuanzhang persuaded him to rest in the mansion, but he insisted on refusing, and said with convincing words: "I am a big man with hands and feet, why should I be confined to the inner courtyard like a woman." Besides, you are now at the time of employing people, and although I am not of great use, I can still do it before and after the saddle. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang thanked him for his kindness, and liked his perseverance and wisdom, considering that he was not physically suitable for leading troops to fight, he arranged a civilian position for him, let him be in charge of military affairs, and assisted Li Shanchang in sharing political affairs.

When Zhu Wenzhong saw his father move to the barracks, he told Zhu Yuanzhang that he also wanted to be a soldier. It is estimated that the three children were discussed, and as soon as Zhu Wenzhong's voice fell, Zhu Wenzheng and Zhu Muying immediately made the same request.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that they were not only not afraid of the war at a young age, but asked to enlist in the army with great interest, and couldn't help but ask the reason curiously.

"We want to be heroes like our fathers!" The three children spoke in unison. When defending the city this time, they followed Ma Xiuying's side to pass the news before and after, and Ma Xiuying's calm response and the heroic spirit of the soldiers who regarded death as their home deeply moved them. When Zhu Yuanzhang slaughtered the city like a bamboo, and the enemy retreated like a tide, I don't know how many people knelt down to worship this man who seemed to be descending from heaven. At that moment, a man can't help but sigh, and the husband should be like this!

The children's explanations were just to the point and scratched Zhu Yuanzhang's itch, which made him feel comfortable all over his body, and he couldn't help laughing loudly. At the same time, he knew very well in his heart that the three children were not reading materials, and since they didn't study martial arts, it was better to let them go to the military camp to exercise as soon as possible.

It's a pity that when he discussed with Ma Xiuying, Ma Xiuying said that the three of them were too young, and they should learn the art of war and strategy before going to the barracks to fight. She really treats Zhu Wenzheng and the others as her own children and has high hopes for them, but the current age and wisdom of the three of them are not enough to be qualified to control the generals, instead of letting them start from small soldiers, it is better to give them a higher starting point, which is like the difference between volunteers and military academy graduates in the previous life.

Zhu Yuanzhang spread his hands and winked at the three children, "Your stepmother doesn't agree, so you can't complain about me now." ”

Zhu Wenzheng and the three of them looked at each other, and just wanted to open their mouths to argue, Ma Xiuying raised her eyebrows and asked again and again: "Have you gone to visit Aunt Tian today?" Have you finished writing the words I asked you to practice? Have you washed your dirty laundry? ”

The children suddenly walked away like defeated roosters. Ma Xiuying has never been harsh on them in life, but Ma Xiuying is very strict in learning, sometimes stricter than Mr. Teaching. Mr. Teaching has a few lashes at most, and Ma Xiuying's methods of cleaning them up are often harmless but painful, so once Ma Xiuying gets angry, they will immediately become obedient and honest.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing, "Madam, you are too powerful, look at them like quails." ”

Ma Xiu said earnestly in English: "These children are getting more and more naughty, if you don't let them be honest now, I'm afraid they will be lawless if they are really put in the barracks." I know their minds are not in books, but their temperament still needs to be polished. If I hadn't stopped me a while ago, I'm afraid that they would all rush to the city wall to kill the enemy, in case of a mistake, how can I explain it to you. I have to suppress their temperament and make them understand that they should be down-to-earth in everything they do. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang echoed like a dog: "Yes, yes, Madam is right." ”

Ma Xiuying gave him a blank look, "As long as you don't say that I treat a few children harshly." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly shouted: "How is it possible, you are disciplining them as if they were your own sons." I'm often not in the house, and you have to worry about everything at home, which is really hard for you. As he spoke, he said, "Madam, let's also give birth to a child for you to discipline, a mother like you will definitely teach a good son." Anyway, we have been married for several years, why don't you see movement in your belly? ”

After experiencing life and death, the family cherishes the time together, but whenever there is no war, Zhu Yuanzhang tries to stay in the house to accompany his wife and concubine. Guo Ninglian and Li Qi'er showed their fierce attachment to Zhu Yuanzhang from time to time, and sometimes even invited to compete for favor regardless of the occasion. Ma Xiuying can't do this kind of flattery as an eldest woman, but fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang loves her the most, and stays in her room for the most days.

The two have been married for a few years and have not moved, not to mention that Ma Xiuying herself is embarrassed, that is, the Tian family and the Wang family have vaguely urged countless times, and Zhu Yuanzhang is really hateful if he doesn't open which pot to mention. The doctor who prescribed conditioning medicine to Ma Xiuying has confirmed that her body is normal, so the problem is naturally on Zhu Yuanzhang's side. She couldn't help but reprimanded angrily: "It's not my business to have a child, you have been on the expedition for many years, and we get together less and leave more, without you cooperating with me to change one out of the crack in the stone?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be puzzled, and said, "Madame, do you think I'm not working hard enough?" I've been working hard these days. ”

Ma Xiuying jumped to her feet angrily, "Can you speak seriously, mingle with those soldiers all day long, become more and more ruffian, where do you look like a general?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled evilly, hugged her and coaxed: "Don't jump, don't jump, maybe my son is in your belly." ”

Ma Xiuying became more and more annoyed, and made a gesture to hit Zhu Yuanzhang, but finally put her hand back on her lower abdomen after a few gentle knocks, and her feet stopped jumping. Zhu Yuanzhang, as the commander of Hezhou, usually gives orders in the city, but the opportunity to go on the expedition is relatively reduced, and the husband and wife naturally spend more time together, I hope that this time I can really conceive a child. She understands that there is no hurry to give birth to a child, but the traditional concept of "there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest" is like a tight spell on her and Zhu Yuanzhang's heads.

"Don't worry, madam, we will have children, I won't go anywhere during this time, I will accompany you in the house." Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang hugged Ma Xiuying and comforted him. Every time he visits Tian and Wang in the past few days, the two sisters-in-law are mentioning the matter of the heir, and he is a little annoyed, presumably Ma Xiuying is even more embarrassed.

"Hmm." Ma Xiuying leaned on Zhu Yuanzhang's arms, agreed sullenly, and complained sourly: "If you don't go to other people's houses, maybe I can ......get pregnant."

This is the first time that Zhu Yuanzhang saw Ma Xiuying showing the appearance of a child and being jealous, and he couldn't help but melt, and said repeatedly: "Okay, good, it's all up to you." ”

Such a dull and warm day made Ma Xiuying reluctant to break free from Zhu Yuanzhang's arms, and she closed her eyes happily.

Xun Ying's voice sounded outside the door at an inopportune time: "Master, madam, someone from the barracks is asking to see you." ”

"I'll go to the barracks and take a look, and if it's too late, don't wait for me to eat." Zhu Yuanzhang let go of his hand and changed his clothes and sword. It is said that there was no war during this time, but someone in the army came to report, and something important must have happened.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang away, Ma Xiuying frowned and asked Xun Ying who was waiting on the side, "There is another war?" ”

Xun Ying was about to tell her about the information collected by the shadow guard, "No, I heard that the soldier said that it was Sun Deya, the commander of Haozhou, who asked to see him, and the slave guessed that he came to borrow food from the master." ”

Now is the season of green and yellow, plus the continuous war, and the food in various places has run out. Guo Zixing and Sun Deya both raised tens of thousands of horses, and the consumption of food in a day was often hundreds of stones, and Zhu Yuanzhang was stationed in Hezhou for a short time, and his troops were not as many as them, and the pressure was not as great as that of the two of them. When Sun Deya heard that Zhu Yuanzhang still had food to give to Guo Zixing, he couldn't help but come to borrow food.

Ma Xiuying sneered when she heard this, "Sun Deya's face is indeed thick enough, if he dares to borrow food from my father-in-law, I really admire him as a hero." ”

Xun Ying also smiled, "It's not because our old man is benevolent and easy to talk that he dares to come, if he is replaced by Marshal Guo, he will not dare to go to Chuzhou if he is given ten guts." ”
